When the House is voting on the new Speaker

The Democrats need to do one of the following when the house votes to choose a new speaker:

1. Vote for Kevin to ensure he stays as speaker. He is an idiot and an ineffective manager. Kevin will also harbor a feeling that he owes something to the Democrats. Or

2. Vote for MTG. Turn the house into a circus, so nothing gets done. Remember the laughs she got when she called for decorum. There is more fun to have. Just think of the entertainment, all of the video clips.

Here is my proposal, don't try to ban assault rifles

Create a law restricting muzzle velocity of all weapons. AR15 has muzzle velocity of 3300 ft/sec. This is what allows an AR15 to be so deadly. Its ammo meets international law: it is full metal jacket, it is not designed to flatten or break apart. But it does both of these because of the muzzle velocity. Which makes the AR15 highly destructive.

This would require a new cartridge. The current one has too much powder behind it. Reduce the powder, and the cartridge would be smaller (shorter). Ban the manufacture and sale of the original cartridge. Manufacturers would have to redesign the chamber and make adapters for existing AR15s to be able to fire the shorter round. Gun manufacturers may actually like this. I means increased sales.

If Dumpster wanted to create real havoc, he would leave 2 - 3 weeks early

Everybody in his administration leaves and goes home. The president, VP, all of the secretaries, WH staff, everybody just leaves, but doesn't submit written resignations. What happens? Does Pelosi become the president but without any staff and cabinet?

The reason Trump is sure that Biden cheated

because he cheated. And the only way Biden could have beaten him cheating is by cheating.

There was fraud in the 2020 Presidential election

But it wasn't by the Democrats, it was done by Trump and the Republicans. We all have been wondering how the polls could be so wrong. Well Republican fraud closed the gap. What better way to cover-up your cheating, than to accuse your opponent of cheating. How did Trump get so many more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.

Just watching the BBC

and they were reporting that Pompeo and Barr are planning to call the Presidential Succession Act to be unconstitutional. That neither Pelosi nor Grassley could become president or acting president if Trump and Pence can't serve. It should be Pompeo.

Don't think anybody has brought up a lame duck presidency

There has been discussions about it not leaving after it loses in November. Has it been brought out that between November and January we could have a lame duck president and republican senators. What kind of chaos could they bring upon us? I can see where starting in September we could have continuing budget resolutions, but on Nov 4th, the beast could shut down the government until inauguration day.

BLM needs to reclaim Jesus

We all know, by myth, he was born in what is now the middle East. There were no blond, blue eyed white guys.

About Darwins_Retriever

13 years as a history, science, and math teacher. Left twice, should have learned my lesson and not gone back. The first time I left teaching, went into the Army. Served as a Counterintelligence Agent, half of the time in civilian cloths.

After that spent time doing security investigations and inspections with the Feds, McDonnel Douglas, and Raytheon. Moved to Florida (for some reason, hey my wife would find her 2nd husband there) and went back to teaching Hated it but I held on for 10 years. Now I'm waiting for retirement.
